Can you add Wool Roving to your wool project?
I love working with wool roving. I do add that to work that I have done but not often because you have to FELT it into the base fabric using a felting pen. That's a barbed tool usually having 3 barbed needles or more. Clover makes and sells this product. It is great for using when you want to "paint" on the wool since roving comes in all kinds of colors. When I do the felting on wool you are so right, it can make it unstable. I honestly don't remember what the heck I did when I was doing...
New Video on Needle Felting
Just recently put together a needle felting project using hand overdyed wool as a base/background and Tussah silk as the fibers that are felted into the project. Felting is a lot like painting, only using fibers. It can create some absolutely wonderful artwork! I will be teaching this workshop in Alaska when I go up. I decided that I would include a freezer paper stencil in the pattern because it will make it easier for someone to duplicate this. It's difficult for some people to look at a photo and then re-create it when there is no way to transfer...
